Abstract: Wiping and capping method and apparatus for use with an ink-jet printer are described. Preferably the apparatus (10) includes a sled (14) that is gimbal-mounted, and preferably spring-mounted, to a printer's chassis (12), the sled (14) mounting plural pairs of caps (16) and wipers (18) for each of the printer's movable carriage-mounted printheads. The sled (14) and the chassis (12) are cam-coupled for controlled, relative movement therebetween. The sled (14) and the carriage (22) are also cam-coupled for controlled, relative movement therebetween. Movement of the carriage (22) produces slight vertical and lateral movement of the sled (14) out of its nominal position to place it in three primary positions relative to the carriage (22): an elevated position for capping the printheads, an intermediate position for wiping the printheads and a lowered position for free reciprocal movement of the carriage (22) without interference between the printheads and either the caps (16) or the wipers (18). Preferably, the gimbal mounting of the sled (14) takes the form of plural spring elements (24), which ensure constant capping force between the caps (16) and their corresponding printheads. The preferred invented method involves uncapping (A, B) the printheads, wiping (C, D) the printheads uni-directionally, lowering (E, F) the sled to its free position beneath the printheads, optionally re-wiping (F, C, D, E) the printheads repeatedly, and returning (F, A) the printheads to their capped position. The method and apparatus are compatible with automatic failure recovery techniques to unclog printheads, including spitting and priming.

Abstract: The invention relates to a tampon (T) intended for feminine hygiene, consisting of a cylindrical blank which is produced by winding up a sliver-like fleece portion and which is shaped by being loaded with pressing force to produce a preform with a core of higher compaction of the fibre material and with core-surrounding longitudinal ribs of lower compaction and is ultimately shaped into the finished tampon (T) by the application of radial pressure forces on the longitudinal ribs. The invention relates, furthermore, to a process and an apparatus for the production of a tampon (T) of this type. In order, whilst maintaining the buckling resistance, to increase the absorbency, the core is formed by a region (Kr) of maximum compaction having an annular cross-section and by a central region (Kz) of medium compaction located within this annular region (Kr). <IMAGE>

Abstract: The invention relates to an electrophotographic printer which can make printing first on the front side of a sheet of paper and then on the back side of the same sheet with conformity between the front and back sides in the head-bottom arrangement of the printed images. The printer has a photocounductive drum (20) which can be rotated both in a normal direction and in the reverse direction, an exposure unit (30) to produce electrostatic latent images on the drum surface, first developing means for developing the latent images with a toner when the drum is rotating in the normal direction, second developing means for developing the latent images with a toner when the drum is rotating in the reverse direction, a transfer unit (40) for transferring the developed images to a sheet of paper, and first and second fixing means (50A,50B) which are oppositely arranged with respect to the transfer unit. For printing on the front side of the paper sheet, the sheet is passed through the transfer unit (40) in a first direction toward the first fixing means while the drum is rotating in the normal direction. For printing on the back side of the sheet, the sheet is further conveyed by a returning route (60) which turns so as to reverse the sheet and extends to the transfer unit, and, while the drum is rotating in the reverse direction, the reversed and returned sheet passes through the transfer unit in the opposite second direction toward the second fixing means (50B).

Abstract: The technical field of the invention are the moulding machines, particularly the inner part (core pin) of such moulding machines for manufacturing of thermoplastic preforms, which are later on stretch-blown to containers such as PET-bottles. The invention relates to preforms having a multi-layer structure and incorporating a recycled inner layer, embedded into two layers of virgin material being on the outside and the inside of said preform. The core pin is designed by the invention such that the inner layer of the preform has a minimum thickness at their bottom area and that the minimum thickness is considerably larger than that in a layer known from prior art. The increase of layer-thickness is achieved by designing the core (2) in its front end portion (3a,3b) in an unround fashion. Possible designs of unround front ends are a flat (3b) or a shallow dimple (3a). With such design of the core pin the invention assures that the middle recycled layer does not reach the inner surface of the preform to give the preform - although recycled thermoplasts are used - food-compatibility.
